x^{5}+9x^{2}+bx+9=\left(x^{2}-10x+25\right)\left(x-2\right)
Use binomial theorem \left(a-b\right)^{2}=a^{2}-2ab+b^{2} to expand \left(x-5\right)^{2}.
x^{5}+9x^{2}+bx+9=x^{3}-12x^{2}+45x-50
Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2}-10x+25 by x-2 and combine like terms.
9x^{2}+bx+9=x^{3}-12x^{2}+45x-50-x^{5}
Subtract x^{5} from both sides.
bx+9=x^{3}-12x^{2}+45x-50-x^{5}-9x^{2}
Subtract 9x^{2} from both sides.
bx+9=x^{3}-21x^{2}+45x-50-x^{5}
Combine -12x^{2} and -9x^{2} to get -21x^{2}.
bx=x^{3}-21x^{2}+45x-50-x^{5}-9
Subtract 9 from both sides.
bx=x^{3}-21x^{2}+45x-59-x^{5}
Subtract 9 from -50 to get -59.
xb=-x^{5}+x^{3}-21x^{2}+45x-59
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{xb}{x}=\frac{-x^{5}+x^{3}-21x^{2}+45x-59}{x}
Divide both sides by x.
b=\frac{-x^{5}+x^{3}-21x^{2}+45x-59}{x}
Dividing by x undoes the multiplication by x.
b=-x^{4}+x^{2}-21x+45-\frac{59}{x}
Divide x^{3}-21x^{2}+45x-59-x^{5} by x.
